Why make kebab bread yourself?

Of course, you can just buy kebab bread. But homemade Turkish flatbread simply tastes better. You can bake it vegan and know what ingredients are in it. Plus, you can enjoy it fresh, right after baking, where it’s still so fluffy, soft and aromatic. Making it yourself is pretty easy, too. So no reason to give it up.

Bake large Turkish flatbread

I had made six flatbreads from the yeast dough using the recipe below, which are about the size of the bread that makes up a kebab that you can buy at the Turkish. Alternatively, you can just make one big pita bread from the dough, especially if you don’t plan to make kebabs from it yourself. To do this, roll out all the dough and place it on the baking tray lined with baking paper. The kebab bread is then about the size of the baking tray. So the rolling out is faster, because you do not have to divide the dough into pieces beforehand.

Serve vegan kebab bread

You can make kebabs yourself from the Turkish flatbread. You can also fill it any way you like. It also tastes delicious with different dips, for example with homemade hummus. It goes perfectly with soups and stews. But it is also delicious on its own, especially when it is fresh. You can take the vegan kebab bread with you on the go.

Store kebab bread

Turkish flatbread tastes best on the first day, still fresh right after baking. Let it cool a bit so you don’t burn yourself and enjoy. You can store the kebab bread for another two days. Store it in an airtight container, such as a Tupperware, in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can freeze it for about three months and then bake it frozen in the oven before serving.

Baking Turkish flatbread: with these tips and tricks you’ll succeed

• The amount of water specified in the recipe may vary. Add the water gradually to the flour mixture to achieve the right consistency of the dough. It should be soft, but not dry and not mushy.
• It is essential that the water be lukewarm (not hot and not cold) to allow the yeast to work its magic.
• Instead of dry yeast you can use fresh yeast. You will need 25 g of it. You don’t have to mix the fresh yeast with flour, but first dissolve it in lukewarm water together with sugar.
• With a small amount of sugar, yeast can develop its effect better. Therefore, add a tablespoon of sugar to the dough.
• If your dough has become too mushy, you can add some more flour while kneading. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
• It is important to knead the yeast dough for about 10 minutes. This will make the vegan flatbread fluffy and soft at the end.
• Be sure to let the yeast dough rise in a warm place. To do this, place the mixing bowl with the dough on the second shelf from the bottom in the oven (do not turn on the oven) and place a bowl of hot water on the bottom of the oven (keep the oven door closed afterwards). This way you will create an ideal climate for the yeast dough – with enough heat and humidity.
• Instead of forming 6 flatbreads from the yeast dough, you can also roll out and bake only one large flatbread.
• If you make several flatbreads and spread them on the baking sheet, leave plenty of space between them. They will get bigger as they rise and bake and may otherwise stick together.
• Brush the kebab bread very carefully and lightly with olive oil before baking to prevent it from collapsing.
• Brushing the doner bread with olive oil before baking is alternative. You can also omit the sprinkling of sesame seeds depending on your taste.
• Do not bake the vegan kebab bread too long. It should have a light color after baking. Otherwise it tastes too dry.
• Store the homemade kebab bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 3 days.
